Sehnsucht

- "die Krankheit des schmerzlichen Verlangens/ the disease of painfully longing"

And there is nothing as painful as longing for your home, where there are the people you care for and the people who care for you. And more painful yet to sit on the wrong side, the right one, of the river Rhine and watching across, being so close that only the water seperates one from the land of dreams and knowing at the same time that one has to return to Westphalia again.
